FCC stops clock on AT&T’s Alltel buyout

28 Aug FCC stops clock on AT&T’s Alltel buyout

With just five days to go on its review of AT&T’s pending $780 million acquisition of Atlantic Tele-Networks wireless assets operating under the Alltel brand, the Federal Communications Commission stopped the clock. The FCC says it has received “no detailed responses from AT&T on its plans for transitioning ATN’s significant prepaid customer base.”
